Hyperdrive - new UK comedy (in Off-topic)

We have a new comedy series starting in the UK, Wednesday 10th January called 'Hyperdrive'. It features the actor who played Mike in Spaced and looks like it might appeal to Red Dwarf and Hitchhikers fans:

This is the synopsis from a tv listings guide:

'22:00 Tomorrow
BBC2
Hyperdrive
Sci-fi comedy, set in 2151 that follows spaceship HMS Camden Lock as it goes about protecting British interests in a changing galaxy. Commander Henderson and the crew try persuading alien cultures to move their businesses to the Peterborough enterprise zone while there is a lethal, man-eating parasite loose on the ship

Starring: Nick Frost, Kevin Eldon, Miranda Hart, Stephen Evans, Dan Antopolski
Duration: 30mins '

Ok, so Wednesday is the 11th but nevermind.....

Thanks for the info comedy and science fiction gotta be worth watching.

Sounds nearly as good as Supernova :)

I would like to watch it if it weren't for my pool league matches being on Wednesday nights >.<

Ok, it wasn't great and Red Dwarf did it first and probably better, but it's worth a watch. It was pretty funny for a first episode. A lot of potential if they improve....

"A lot of potential if they improve.... "

You know, that doesn't really say much... ;)

Lasted 15 mins and got turned over so I could watch a re-run of Hart to Hart.

Hyperdrive is garbage and should be shot into hyperspace.

You can't compare it to Hart to Hart...that is CLASSIC!

Ok, it was good but lacking a strong central character. Red Dwarf without Lister if you will.

The central idea isn't as strong as Red Dwarf either. But it was funny. The ships engineer is basically a typical IT guy, the first officer a psycopath, and the Captain is Mike from Spaced which is good enough for me.
